Become a member

When you join Thyroid Cancer Canada, you will receive an information package with publications and tools that will help you better understand thyroid cancer, what you might expect next, and what you can do to be an active partner in your medical care. These tools are also helpful for caregivers to better understand what their loved one is going through. Membership, and all of our publications, are free!
